I have no idea what they stand for but none are official medals. That is for sure.

First two have ribbon for the 1870-1871 medal which is an official medal.

Hello Megan.

This is a Belgian non official medal " La Croix Verte Colonial". I have to find my documentation but as soon as I've found it I will come back with more information.

They excist als without rosette " Chevalier" or Knight

With rosette Officier or Officer.

Hello Antonio.

Thank you for your response. Much appreciated.

Werner

Hello, I have a document wich authorizes wearing a foreign order. In this case "Commandeur de l'Ordre d'Isabelle la Catholique" . Is there a list for Belgians awarded with this order? Which type of order would match this document?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Christiaan, nice collection Order of the Crown.

Those boxes with "text" as you probably allready know meaning:

- POC / GPK = Palmes d'Or Couronne / Gouden Palmen Kroonorde

- MOC / GMK = Médaille d'or Couronne / Gouden Medaille Kroonorde

Box with M 1e is probably for the Civilian medal 1st class but also could be for an other medal, Burgerlijke Medaille 1914-1918. (Civilian Medal 14-18)

Hi Veltro.

This case is for the "Silver Palmes Order of the Crown" or in dutch "Zilveren Palmen in de Kroonorde"

Z for Zilver : Silver

P for Palm : Palm

greetings, Werner 

Hello Veltro and speedytop,

the medal on the right is : Medal for liberal union membership. 

The other one on the left is probably a medal for a veterans association, a non official award.

Greetings,

Werner 

Some examples: Medal for Liberal Union Membership.

Hello Igor.

I do not have this one. Its is a medal officialy instituted as a price medal for art.

The only information I have for the moment is a discription from a catalogue bij Guioth.

Thank you Farmer.

Now I know what to look for. 

Regards,

Werner

Hello Lukasz.

Thank you for your reply. 

Is it possible to post a picture of the correct type of Officer (4th class) I should buy to complete this document.

Regards, Werner 

Thank you JohanH

Werner

Hello,

I would like to know if there exists a list of Belgians who received this Order,

I have a medal with document awarded to a Belgian, I believe he was a servant at the Royal House in Belgium.

Hallo there,

I would like to know what type of medal goes with this document. 

Is there a list of the Belgians who were awarded this order?

regards Werner 

Hello Jan,

Hello Werner,

 

Thanks for the Bombeck citation above. As to foreign awards to Belgians, I assume you are familiar with the US Medal of Freedom book by Peter Verstraeten ?

 

A final citation request if I may ... 3rd class (silver) medal to G. WATTEEU Lede 20 July 1862. The name may be misspelled on the medal and missing a "W" at the end ...

 

 

Regards,

Hendrik

As you can see Hendrik, his name was correctly spelled.

Indeed I know and have that publication by Peter Verstraeten.

I am aware that its almost impossible but you know that sometimes Belgian groupings comes with a foreign medal or order. 

Maybe I will refraise my question later for a specific medal 😀

Regards, Werner 

If by any chanche someone would have information about Foreign Orders and Medals awarded to Belgians, I would be very interested.

Werner 🙂

Hello bilylev.

As you can see and read, this one should be in gilded silver and the crown in silver (second class).

His name was engraved in the wrong way, it should be Fenchère instead of Feuchère.

Cheers, Werner

Hello Werner,

 

Many thanks for the citation. Translated into English it goes like this :

 

Schrader Jean-Baptiste, policeman, Brussels 25 November 1849. Silver Gilt.

A woman had fallen, on 25 November 1849, around 11 o'clock at night, in a basin on a construction site; she had already disappeared under the water when policeman Schrader, drawn by the cries for help of this woman, jumped, fully clothed, into the water and managed through great exertions to rescue her.

 

Shall we do another one ? This one is a 3rd class (silver) medal to J.F. Bombeek, Ichtegem 5 September 1847 :

 

 

Regards,

Hendrik

Hello Hendrik,

for this one I have to consult an other publication because it is a 1847 medal. 

As you have noticed, the head of Leopold I is smaller. Meaning that originally it was just a medal without crown. Perhaps you can check if this medal was mounted into a circle. Difficult to explaine in English for me. Otherwise send me a PM to explain this in Dutch.

Hello VC89.

There's a study about these medals where you can find those names. You can also find them in "Moniteur Belge" - "Belgisch Staatsblad".

Your medal should be a second class, the medal is gilded silver and the crown silver. Perhaps you can do some cleaning.

He also received a silver medal (third class) for an other act of bravery in 1849.

Greetings

Hello Igor,

what are you looking for ? Maybe I can help you.

Regarding your medal awarded to" ISERENTANT", you may find it above. I send you this yesterday. 🙂

about box - good news too, thank you !

may be you can help me with this medal too ? 

 

Hello Igor, your medal misses its crown. It should be like the picture included.

Greetings, Werner 

Hello Igor,

this is the citation for this medal for courage. In french language but I am sure you can find a way to translate this. The box is not original for this medal but. It is a box for Cross for Volunteers of 1830. 

Hello Alan329,

this is a nice set of Belgian medals for a WWI veteran ?

Hello Aussi,

this is not a Belgian medal and certainly not resistance related.
